Kapton Tape PLA tested and FAILS pr 5 Kapton Tape Glue Stick
This is Part 5 of my testing Kapton Tape with PLA filament printing, using Glue Stick on Kapton Tape and it FAILS with PLA printed parts lifting from the build plate.
Notes: I tried the same print with the heated bed temperature set to 70° C and then set to 50° C. At 50° C it did stay on the build plate, (shown at the end of this video), and it finish the print without lifting off the print bed, (this indicates a lower heated bed temperature is more beneficial), but I feed this is too unreliable to use this method all the time.

Noise during this print:-
AMD Heat sink with 80mm fan to cool down the buck convertor of 24 Volts PSU supply to 12 Volts for the RAMPS 1.4, LED ‘s and fans. This is too loud. I plan to change the AMD CPU heat sink fan supplied with a Gelid Solutions Silent Quiet Case Fan this should be much quieter. I may get a separate 12 Volt PSU instead

Quick Release Belt Drive Feeding. Putting parts together need tweaks.
Trying to build a Belt Drive feeder system putting all the
parts together I find that it works, (simulated test only).
It could still benefit from some tweaks and improvements..

This feeder is strongly based on :-

The eBay seller who made the feeder used to make this 3D print
was very helpful and went that extra mile to help me

Silent 8 Fan quieter Buck Convertor fan for my 3D printer
When trying to cut down the heat caused by the 24 Volt to 12 Volt
Buck Convertor I used an AMD CPU Heatsink and fan. This reduces
heat but results in a much louder system so I exchange this noisy
AMD CPU fan for a Silent 8 Fan, (80mm).
I use a 24 Volt PSU to power a 24 Volt, 300 Watt Heat Pad
via a Solid State Relay that is controlled by the RAMPS 1.4.
From the same 24 Volt power supply I use a 24 Volt to 12 Volt
Buck Convertor to power : the RAMPS 1.4,
LED lighting as well as some fans.
The 24 Volt to 12 Volt Buck Convertor works well but gets hot in use.

Pause Testing. I wanted to test the “Pause” functions on my 3D Printer.
I wanted to test the “Pause” functions on my 3D Printer.
Pause Testing. I wanted to test the “Pause” functions on my 3D Printer.
So I made this (light weight in plastic use and time), simple “stl” file.
All it is is a tube, 25mm height, with some small parts at 5mm heights stinking out to indicate where Pause is selected.
Then using Cura I asked for the “Pause at height” plugin to pause at a Z height, (and also move the nozzle for easier access/filament changing etc), in my case 5mm and started to print.
This worked very well as I expected.
Note: the headbed and the nozzle temperatures stay on while Paused.
After Pause.
Clicking the knob on the LCD12864 Full Graphic Smart Controller moved the nozzle back to where the Pause started and continued the print without any issues.
Then I tried using the LCD12864 Full Graphic Smart Controller Pause option.
This worked BUT:-
a) The nozzle stayed where it was Paused at. This caused a blob of plastic to be oozed onto the part at this position.
b) It takes a bit of time to select the Pause option on the LCD12864 Full Graphic Smart Controller and printing continues until the Pause is actually selected. This means that the Pause may be harder to control for the actual position of the height, etc..
After Pause.
Selecting Resume on the LCD12864 Full Graphic Smart Controller started and continued the print form the unmoved nozzle position.
Note: the headbed and the nozzle temperatures stay on while Paused.

ONLY change the waste Pad settings other changers will impact the printer hardware and could stop the printer working
